Abstract

Un dispositif à ondes élastiques selon la présente divulgation comprend : un élément de support comprenant un substrat de support ayant un sens de l'épaisseur ; une couche piézoélectrique disposée sur l'élément de support ; et une électrode IDT disposée sur la couche piézoélectrique. Dans l'élément de support, une cavité est ménagée à une position qui chevauche au moins une partie de l'électrode IDT dans une vue en plan le long du sens de l'épaisseur. Un trou traversant atteignant la cavité est ménagé dans la couche piézoélectrique. L'électrode IDT comprend : une première barre omnibus ; une seconde barre omnibus opposée à la première barre omnibus ; une pluralité de premiers doigts d'électrode qui sont disposés sur la première barre omnibus et qui s'étendent vers la seconde barre omnibus ; et une pluralité de seconds doigts d'électrode qui sont disposés sur la seconde barre omnibus et qui s'étendent vers la première barre omnibus. La pluralité de premiers doigts d'électrode et la pluralité de seconds doigts d'électrode sont agencés de façon à se chevaucher entre eux lorsqu'ils sont vus dans une direction opposée dans laquelle la pluralité de premiers doigts d'électrode et la pluralité de seconds doigts d'électrode qui sont adjacents les uns aux autres sont opposés les uns aux autres. Dans une vue en plan dans le sens de l'épaisseur, le trou traversant est ménagé à une position excluant une région entre une première ligne imaginaire passant par les extrémités avant de la pluralité de premiers doigts d'électrode et une seconde ligne imaginaire passant par les extrémités avant de la pluralité de seconds doigts d'électrode.
